How to Convert Picometers to Micrometers
To convert from picometers (pm) to micrometers (µm), you divide the value in picometers by 1,000,000. This is because 1 micrometer is equal to 1,000,000 picometers. For more information about picometers as a unit of measurement, visit our picometers page.
Formula
Micrometers = Picometers / 1,000,000
or
µm = pm / 1,000,000
Examples
- 1 pm = 1 / 1,000,000 = 0.000001 µm
- 10 pm = 10 / 1,000,000 = 0.00001 µm
- 100 pm = 100 / 1,000,000 = 0.0001 µm
- 1,000 pm = 1,000 / 1,000,000 = 0.001 µm

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a picometer (pm)?
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one trillionth of a meter (10⁻¹² meters). It is commonly used for measuring distances at the atomic and subatomic scale.
What is a micrometer (µm)?
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one millionth of a meter (10⁻⁶ meters). It is commonly used for measuring the dimensions of microscopic objects.
How do I convert micrometers to picometers?
To convert from micrometers to picometers, you multiply the value in micrometers by 1,000,000. For example, 1 µm is equal to 1 * 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 pm.
